M750A Driver Support

For M750A, we have two kinds of drivers supported under Linux.
One of drivers is kernel default supported, another is Silicon Motion supported.
Both of the two drivers have some limitations under Linux respetively.

Fedora 12
  • Only monitor displayed, if you select "Onboard" in PnP/PCI Configuration.
  • Only M750A displayed(Clone mode), if you select "PCI Slot" in PnP/PCI Configuration.
  • Can't support "extend mode".
  • Just support different monitors are different tty, and mouse is connected in different monitors.
  • Can't change to console mode.(Both of using Ctrl+Alt+F1~6 to change other tty and using command "init 3" can't change to console mode.)
